Poppy and Duke are cute. I would use them on dogs for sure. Probably not on my own kids but I would admire someone who had the chutzpah to do so, especially in combination with a more traditional middle name.

Indira reminds me of Indira Gandhi, so that's a good or bad association depending on your perspective. The name itself sounds pretty in English but I don't know how it sounds in Hindi (i.e. if it's an outdated name or if it sounds modern).

Poppy & Duke made me lol because it reminds me of poopy and dookie. Seriously, I'm still laughing.

I like Indira well enough. Not a name I'd use, though.

Poppy is so cute. Too bad it doesn't age well at all =(.

I think Indira is really pretty, but not something I would use. I think of Indira Gandhi as well.

I haaaate Indira, it's sooo popular here and all the Indira's I've met are total bitches.

Don't like Poppy but Duke is kind of cute.

Poppy and Duke remind me of dog names, to be honest.

Poppy kind of reminds me of a cat. I think it might be cute on a child (toddler), but not on an adult.
I absolutely loathe the name Duke; I think it's -so- ugly (even for a dog, which all I can imagine it on).
Indira isn't horrible, but I don't really like it either.

I really like the name Indira! It's on my guilty pleasures list. I'm not really a fan of Poppy and Duke. Poppy always makes me think of what a little kid would call their grandfather - not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but not what you want to associate with your daughter's name! - and Duke is just horrible, imo.
